Eataly has opened a Nutella Bar at the Dubai Mall store few weeks back, offering Nutella fans the chance to taste Nutella in creative ways they have never tried before.

The special menu includes crepes, crostatina, cookies, bread, with perfect partners of fresh strawberries and banana , all generously smothered with the legendary chocolate hazelnut spread.

The story of the Nutella

Nutella spread was created in the 1940s by Pietro Ferrero, a pastry maker and founder of the Ferrero company. As there was very little chocolate at the time, due to World War II rationing, Mr. Ferrero used hazelnuts to extend the chocolate supply. The unique taste of Nutella hazelnut spread continues today to come from the combination of roasted hazelnuts, skim milk and a hint of cocoa. In addition, Nutella has no artificial colours or preservatives.
